Sadly tonight Nelson Mandela has passed away. Throughout most of my life and growth as a leader his example has been an inspiration.

We must not forget that whilst Nelson Mandela changed the world he also changed lives on a personal and day to day level through his contacts with people. So it is not Nelson Mandela the great statesman that has real lessons for every leader in every organisation across the globe but his skill as an individual leader. What he did was to show people he cared about them no matter whether they were Presidents or cleaners, showed them there was, within them, a greater self that they had not yet discovered which they could become. This led those people to give him their effort, loyalty, support and sometimes their lives. He encapsulates what real day to day leadership and humanity is about at its highest level.

This is the “spirit” of leadership not just the “mechanics”. The “mechanics” is what we learn on development programmes, its the process, the “spirit” is what takes the “mechanics” to the highest level of true leadership. If as a leader you only ever use the “mechanics” of leadership you will never get the best from yourself or others.

This spirit of leadership that Nelson Mandela used so well includes many things you cant learn on a course – inspiration, determination, focus, humility, humour, forgiveness, courage, clarity and simplicity, vision, justice, integrity, charisma, humour even when times were bad, being willing to genuinely listen to others, bringing hope to the hopeless and real action that engages everyone not just a few.

If only 10% of leaders in organisations followed his example the world, organisations and business would be better for it.

Personally his example encouraged me to support those struggling for freedom in South Africa after the death of Steve Biko and the Soweto Massacre when I was a student in London through to, last week, using his example to define the true spirit of leadership to senior leaders in a top global organisation. I try my best in what I do as a leader to live up to the standards he set.

Nelson Mandela should not be seen as a remote hero that none of us can emulate but an example of real practical leadership that all of us can use day to day if we have the courage and determination to try.

For those too young to remember the liberation struggle that Nelson Mandela led watch this video from the end of the film Cry Freedom (made in 1987 and banned in South Africa until Nelson Mandela was released) that shows the sacrifice he and his vision of freedom inspired.
